Tash's treble ends Chelsea run

Women's Football News 20 Oct 2008

Everton ended Chelsea's unbeaten record as a four-goal second half salvo carried them to a
4-0 victory over the second placed side.

After the first half ended goalless, Fara Williams gave Everton the lead eight minutes after the restart and Natasha Dowie went on to seal the Toffees' sixth straight win by scoring a hat-trick.

Arsenal meanwhile restored their lead of five points with a 4-0 victory over Leeds Carnegie.

Katie Chapman opened the scoring for the Gunners in the fifth minute and Niamh Fahey extended the lead with her first goal for the club. Julie Fleeting added a third midway through the second half and Yvonne Tracy rounded off the win two minutes from time.

Doncaster Rovers Belles remain in fourth place but were twice pegged back in their 2-2 draw away to Watford. Liz Hanson scored the only goal of the first half for the Belles with Helen Lander levelling for Watford soon after the break. Precious Hamilton looked to have given the Belles the points when she put them back in front but Watford hit back once more, Jodian Clarke's injury time goal giving them a share of the spoils and a place back in the top half.

Liverpool are out of the bottom two after they claimed their first league victory of the season, a 1-0 success away to Birmingham City. Vicky Jones netted the only goal of the game in the fifth minute and the Reds held on for three precious points.
